Jon Gray pitched six innings of two-run ball to beat the Braves at Coors Field on Wednesday.

Gray has turned steadier of late, allowing three runs of fewer in five straight starts. Of course, it doesn't hurt that his last three starts have come against the dregs of the NL East (the Phillies, Marlins and Braves). He'll face Kansas City next time out and then probably get the Braves again afterwards. Aug 17 - 1:54 AM

Jon Gray allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings and settled for a no-decision against the Marlins on Friday.

He was unscored upon through the first four frames but surrendered a run on a double-play grounder in the fifth. In the sixth inning he served up a gopherball to Giancarlo Stanton and allowed another run on a sacrifice fly hit by J.T. Realmuto. He yielded eight hits and two walks while recording four strikeouts on the day. Gray has a 4.92 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 11 starts for the Rockies this year. Aug 11 - 11:16 PM

Gray carved his way easily through the Phillies' star-less lineup, scattering six hits and one walk while striking out four. The one run he allowed came on a double-play groundout by Nick Williams in the top of the fourth. Gray has been sharp lately and looks poised for a strong finish to an injury-plagued 2017 campaign. Up next is a road start against the Marlins. Aug 5 - 11:18 PM

Jon Gray pitched well in a losing effort against the Nationals on Sunday night, allowing three runs on four hits over seven strong innings.

Gray punched out eight on the night while walking just one. Unfortunately, two of the four hits left the yard in the form of home runs from Adam Lind and Brian Goodwin. Gray will carry an unsightly 5.52 ERA and 1.57 WHIP into Friday's start against the Phillies. Jul 30 - 10:18 PM

Arenado escaped with just a bruise after taking a hard grounder off his left hand in Thursday's loss to Atlanta. It's the same hand Arenado injured on a hit-by-pitch earlier this week. For now, consider the All-Star third baseman day-to-day.

Rockies manager Bud Black said Tuesday that there is no timetable for Ian Desmond's return from the disabled list.

Desmond has been out since July 26 with a strained right calf and still hasn't been cleared for baseball activities. It sounds like he'll miss most, if not all, of August. The 31-year-old is batting just .285/.328/.388 with five home runs over 65 games in the first year of a five-year, $70 million free agent deal.

Tyler Anderson (knee) threw a bullpen session on Tuesday and manager Bud Black said the pitcher is progressing well.

Anderson is eligible to come off the 60-day disabled list on Aug. 25. He has been sidelined since June 25 due to inflammation in his left knee. "I don't know if his return is imminent but it's coming," Black said after the session. Anderson is hopeful of returning to the rotation when he is ready to return, but fantasy owners will want to see him knock off the rust in and out of two before trusting him again.
